Jung Da-Bin found dead

0210-jung-da-bin2.jpg

Rising actress Jung Da-Bin (27) was found hanging on a rope in her friend’s apartment this morning. The exact cause of her decision is not known, but similar to U-Nee, many suspect that her chronic depression was responsible for her suicide. Jung Da-Bin was mostly known for her role in drama “Cat in Rooftop,” and the movie “The Guy was Cool.”

Unfortunately, her career went downhill since then. She underwent massive plastic surgeries as a desperate attempt to restore it, but it brought her more criticisms than fame. Then, she was caught in a legal battle with her former management company about her contract. On top of this, her mom was diagnosed with uterine cancer a year ago. Jung Da Bin definitely had her share of hard times, but we are still sad and shocked to see her leave us the way she did.

Rest in peace Jung Da Bin.

    oh no!! that is soooo sad… I mean, i think we all through a point in our lives where we are confused and don’t know what to do or what will happen in the future… but i guess being a star, the uncertainty is greater and there is so much more pressure! I can only imagine how much she had to go through…..

    Very sorry to hear about her demise at such a young age. I thought that she was one of the more talented K-actresses and that she had a very interesting “look” so I’m also sorry to hear the report of plastic surgery. May she r.i.p.

    I have a friend who is in the business and all she gets is “if you make your bridge higher, then you can be even prettier” – but she is smarter than to listen to all that nonsense.

    what report of plastic surgery??? i’m behind!!

  6. 8 popseoul February 14, 2007 at 4:06 pm

    the media speculate that the pressures she got to change her face through plastic surgery was one of the reasons that pushed her over the edge…. that the surgery changed her face and she didn’t like it…. ppl just can’t accept what they look like. It’s very unfortunate. Even for a regular person the pressure is high to get surgery – make your nose higher, get double lids etc. My boss use to joke that the next time he sees me that I will probably get my nose done… and well, so far, I haven’t succumbed to the societal pressures yet….
    but who knows? A plastic surgeon I know said that if i get my nose done, it will change my life…. hmmmmmm

  13. 15 mia February 24, 2007 at 5:38 am

    its rili shocking… sad… when heard d news even i didnt see it through my very eyes , then i research n the net so many speculations, versions

  14. 16 anonymous mtg February 26, 2007 at 4:59 am

    I still can’t believe she past away at such a young age (26). She seemed to be such a bubbly and happy person, I guess that’s what we all saw on the outside or on the television, but maybe she was sad, confused, depressed, and a lost soul inside without the flashing lights, being microscopically watched and the constant pressures of the media!! What forced her to end the notorious life that many would desire to reach or have? Did fame finally got the hold of her and everything else she values? We all may never ever know the reason or her reasons for her sudden tragic demise. It’s very disappointing and unfair for her family & friends because they were robbed of a child, a sibling, and a friend. They’re left with many unanswered questions, but hopefully gain to learn and accept that the chapter of her life on earth has ended and a new chapter in paradise has begun, a clean slate.

    May you rest in peace Jung Da Bin!! Prayers to you and your love ones & May God be with you.

    i just heard the news today…i can’t believe it…i really just can’t…

  16. 18 Aiza March 7, 2007 at 11:51 pm

    I was totally shocked!!! I have most of her movie and drama series in my collection because I like her and her attitude every time she acts. But I guess whatever happens in real life is much more cruel than in the movie.

    I truly hope she can really rest in piece ‘there’ and pray that God will forgive her soul. If only we are there to support her…

  17. 19 cici March 24, 2007 at 11:40 am

    noooooo..I really like her…Why do she have to that…Is sad to know that she gone…I hope she find happiness where ever she go…

  22. 24 bday girl March 29, 2007 at 3:42 am

    I loved her when I first saw her in Nonstop. She was so funny when it comes to acting that’s why I liked her so much. And we have the same bday too, March 4. I was so surprised when I heard the news on tv.

  23. 25 USguy April 6, 2007 at 12:15 am

    I just finished watching the Rooftop Room Cat on DVD last night. Just now I did a little research on the female main character and found out that she committed suicide. I love her from watching this drama. I was searching to see if she has stared on other dramas and found the sad news. It ruined my day. :(

  24. 26 Lin z. April 6, 2007 at 2:27 pm

    Oh my!
    I just read this at this afternoon online.. and she died 2 months ago.

    It’s so sad because I like her so much. I started to like her when I watch the film My 19 old sister-in-law. In this movie she was so funny and cool. So I begann to search for more movies with her in main character.

    I can’t believe that she died. I was shocked a lot when I read this news. Why did she do that? She was so young and she could have a nice family and a famous career.

    Anyway,I hope she will rest in peace now and don’t have stress like she describe in her diary. I just hope all good things for her. Wish that she never will do something like that in her next life again!

    condolence with love from PHILIPPINES

  33. 35 Michael May 8, 2007 at 11:47 pm

    I just heard the news. For over a year, I tried to find her mail address to write to her, to tell her what big fans my wife and I are of her work, how pretty and talented we think she is, to tell her to keep up the good work. And now this. I feel guilty and ashamed that I didn’t try harder to find her. It stuns me to wonder how many other beautiful young people are out there who desperately need someone to catch them but who simply run out of time waiting. I had no idea she was so sad. I travel from the U.S. to Asia often for work–I should have tried harder to find her. If there are other young men and women out there who suffer this way, know this: total strangers may well think the world of you. Give us a chance to find you before you take yourselves away from us forever.

  34. 36 chromatic May 10, 2007 at 12:34 pm

    Oh no, i just heard about it… i really liked her in Attic Cat, i posted about her a lot on my cyworld… its so weird that she is gone now…
    I can understand somehow that sometime you can feel like being dead could be better than alive but depressed all the time… Still…. 27 is so young to feel that way… korean showbusiness really is too hard…. i heard U-nee suicide herself too… crazy…

    Anyway…
    Rest in peace Jung Da Bin

  35. 37 Chinwe May 11, 2007 at 1:25 am

    this is very shocking and sad to learn that korean actress Jung Da-bin has passed away. I could not believe it! I have just finished watching her drama “Attic Cat” and thought that she was a great natural actress. Its such a pity :(

  39. 41 noseinbook May 21, 2007 at 3:01 pm

    Jung Da-Bin was geting too old, and she was never going to be as popular as she once was. After she ruined her reputation with plastic surgery, she really didn’t have any better choice.

  40. 42 Jim Kimberly C. Tilap June 7, 2007 at 1:37 pm

    You will be judge according to your sin. It is not acceptable for you to be forgiven or pardon in committing suicide…You will go to hell. Why did you do that? You know what, all of us has a lot problems, that cannot be stop all over again. It is a great challenged for each of us, right? Rest in Peace, and we miss you so much. -Kim 19 m, Phils.
